thanks

The battery life on this ROM is awesome. Survived +31 hours on a single charge with light usage. Winning! Thank you!

Glad you're liking it! Thank you for your support :)

If you pull the battery out or if your battery dies, data will get corrupted.

Yes, read the thread, this is discussed.... about 50 times ;)

Will journalled impact performance at all?

yep that's it for sure....removing drm will affect media....just freeze it with titanium or disable with startup auditor in the future...

Nothing noticeable but it will probably benchmark lower.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
A bit of an off topic request, but I am hoping for a new thread with the move to 1.1. So many pages to sift through with this thread, newer folks trying the ROM may not need to sift through all of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Would someone mind explaining journaling vs. Non journaling?
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:
Does anyone notice when they blink? The impact upon performance is not even noticeable. I re-enabled journaling and have zero complaints.

So far my only issues are 3 apps that are not functioning but they also could have been broken before I modified the file system. The apps are:

Google Search

Voice Search

YouTube

Both Search apps endlessly loop with requests to share location details, YouTube just force closes immediately. I'm planning to uninstall/reinstall them and see if that corrects things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ansong:
I'm a little surprised that you guys have chosen performance over stability.

I understand that issues vary from phone to phone (and even flash to flash) but I haven't used a ROM yet, including stock, that hasn't either killed itself (locked up and rebooted) or merely locked up requiring a battery pull at least once a week. I've tried the various fixes including formatting the sdcard but I've resigned myself to it happening.

Requiring (or at least encouraging) ext4 seems to me to be building data corruption into the OS. Are there plans to address the data corruption issue at all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] threedfreek:
for many force closes didn't happen with rom updates... for me they didn't until I odin'd the EC05 modem... I was at work (in airplane mode cause sprints signal sux) and my phone rebooted... next thing I see is the ACS logo startup screen. When Launcher loads it FC's out... after it reloaded it's fine... I got a backup before the odin so I'm safe but I'm not confident in my phone anymore =( Think I will try the EC05 OTA till 1.1 comes out.

did I mention... Love this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BroadcastDoc:
I guess I've been one of the lucky ones. I did have the "Google Search Location Loop" issue, but a re-flash fixed that.

Other than that I've had no FC's and no reboots. Nothing but super-fast performance and excellent battery life. I could not be happier with this ROM!

I think the secret to my success was formatting the SD card and wiping the phone a MINIMUM of three times before flashing. I probably did it five times before I flashed. I made sure this phone was clean before proceeding. I also don't do any theming or hacks other than what come with the ROM.

I also followed the advice here and set SetCPU to 100/1000 on-demand.

Other than that, I've only rebooted by using the option given when hitting the power button.

Smooth as butter!

K0nane answered your question on the previous page of this thread. :rolleyes: (See below quote)

Awesome news. :D

There are many many posts and quite a few threads explaining this in the General, Q&A and Development forums. Also a quick Google search of "filesystem journaling" would have answered your question. :) Hope that helps ya out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system

Give this thread a sifting for some more info.

"Re-enable Journaling" thread in Q&A
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
off topic I know but how do i format the sd card? is that simply mount to computer rightclick on drive and select format or is that done inside clockwork?
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
So far my stability has been incredible matching the performance, but there's always been a debate between developers about ext3 and ext4 data stability which is why they seperated to ext4 development with the base of ext3 just so long as they remained different journaling systems.

Where is the data corruption occuring?
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
In your phone, go to settings sd card, unmount then format
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
No disrespect in saying this...but guys there has been many debates already on ext4 and rfs....as far as data corruption as long as you have a backup...its really not an issue....but if you really want to re-hash this debate...start another thread...it is the the ACS teams choice on what the want to build...if you do not like it then there are other choices...heck Rob (pftmedic) was kind enough to post an rfs version yesterday ECO5....so you have choices...the developers are entitled to make their own choices and you are entitled to use another rom....:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
you can achieve it via CW or from your pc....I prefer to use a card reader to do it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jkrough0728:
Is anyone having issues adding music to their SD on this rom? The phone reads my memory card fine but if I add music to the SD card it wont show up. It still reads the card and shows everything that was there before but still wont read the new songs I put on there. In file manager, the songs are on the SD so the phone is seeing it but wont put it in a music directory?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
That's not a rom issue. That's a sd card issue.

Are you adding your music to the same folder that your music is already in? Is there a ".nomedia" in that folder? If there is a .nomedia in the folder delete it. If not and music still ain't showing your sdcatd has become corrupted
[Epic 4G Android Development] jkrough0728:
I already formatted the SD and I am putting it in the music folder where all my music is. Let me look and see if there is that file in there real quick! Thanks for your quick reply!

Nope that file isn't in there. But I don't think my memory card failed because I can take pics and they save to the memory card. And when I move the music over it shows up on the memory card in Astro. It seems like the phone just isn't updating the card after the demount properly and not seeing the new files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Thanks much, I had no idea what to search, ie: file system.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
None taken at all bro,

I completely agree.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
ok a couple of off topic questions for the devs and/or anyone skilled enough to answer...

is there any way to effectively remove the drm files (not just apk) from the phone and not have any issues related? example, found info on this page...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794010

and the other question...

i myself cant put my sd card into the comps card reader because it cant pick it up. other micro sd's work fine but this has happened with other cards that are 16gb from android based phones. the card works GREAT in my phone. any thoughts?

again, as always, thanks for any advice/help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZephyrFox:
This is another one of the issues I had. Occasionally, everything on the SD card will read fine but audio files will not play. Despite what has been posted, it isn't an SD card problem. I had the issue on 3 different cards from 3 different manufacturers and all were freshly formatted.

I was only using the audio files for ringtones so I eventually just moved them on to the phone itself and had no issues, other than having to do it every time I had to reflash. I did notice that it wasn't all audio files that stopped playing- .ogg files still played fine on the SD card. If your files were not .ogg, you might try converting some to see if that works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
I think I've seen that if you clear the data on the Google (Framework) services, it should fix this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
I don't suppose there is any chance of getting root in the ROM as opposed to the kernel? I'm sorry as I'm sure this has been asked 100 times, but when searching for "root" in the thread, you can imagine how many results I get :) I'd like to convert over to check this out. Have always run Viper but haven't been happy with their support on the latest release. Unfortunately, I can nver get one click root to work, so if I decide to go to something aside from ACS, I need to odin a pre-rooted stock rom on and that's just annoying. TIA

I need a little help with calibrating my battery. I've done a thread search and also a simple Google search and haven't found 100% clear instructions that have been confirmed working. If possible can someone please give me a clear quick explanation of the exact steps that work for them? Or simply pointing to a clear post would help a lot. I'm loving the ROM but my battery isn't yet so I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Really happy to hear this. I've been reenabling journaling using the cwm method, and have not really noticed any diference in speed in real world tests.
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:
Here are the steps i took:

charge battery to 100% (wait for blue light)

then shutdown

next boot into recovery (vol down + camera + power) with Clockwork 3.0.0.6

select: Advanced

select: Wipe Battery Stats

select: ***Go Back***

select: Reboot Phone Now

Now let the device boot up and reconnect the charger if it is not at 100% again until the blue LED lights up.

you should be good after that.

Some people have gotten lucky when removing them with no issues(like you may have for that short term)....but when you have media issues....it is defiantly because of the removal....the ringtone and notification issue is most common...

As far as removing them with success....no...at least not that I have seen....I have always froze them or used startup auditor ...

Is there anything in this ROM that should cause the stock Sprint Hotspot app to not work correctly?

WiFi Tether seems to like causing my phone to crash after a while, so I'd like to go back to using the standard Sprint Hotspot app (which worked like a charm before).

I seem to be able to activate the hotspot, and my laptop can see it, but it doesn't get a valid IP (169.254.*.*)

And yes, I do have Sprint Hotspot enabled on my plan, so that isn't the issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you have Sprint hotspot on your plan, use it ;) Don't waste time with prebeta wifi tether apps :)

And to answer your question, it's the app, which is a prebeta, not the rom that has issues :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] s84471:
That's the thing, I'm trying to use it, but it's not working correctly.

My laptop connects and all, but I get an autoconfig IP address (and, therefore, no data connectivity).

I'm wondering if there was a change made to allow WiFi Tether to work that breaks the stock app.

Seems like something has gone awry in whatever Sprint Hotspot uses for DHCP.

Update to your update: I figured that it was WiFi Tether's fault my phone was crashing, and I wasn't trying to place the blame on SRF, but I was wondering if Sprint Hotspot should still be working or not (because, for me, it doesn't).
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ah, I understand now :) Try uninstalling the tethering app, and see if Sprint hotspot works then. Does the tethering app actually work for you?

If I were to install a theme, and not like it..is it easy to revert back to before the theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Sure there is :) Either restore a nandroid (backup) from before you flashed the theme, or reflash the rom on top of itself without wiping. Or, you could also just push the original framework files. :D

Great, Thanks for the quick replies! I am not familiar with "pushing" but I could pull off one of the other two :) As you can tell I'm new to this whole thing, but am loving reading this thread along with others, and am trying to learn as much as I can.

Same bootup screen... The about phone lists me as base - eb13, kernal as 2.6.32.9, build as twilight zone v1.0.

But I the logging still in the phone app of texts and stuff.. So it seems like something is funny.. any ideas what to try?

Alot of apps will only work in /system/app folder after theming.I did try putting it in /data folder but it wouldnt show up.

Im gonna try to Odin and format my SDcard maybe that will fix it,its just wierd because themed DolphinHD always worked for me on every rom including Syndicate 2.1 but not this one.

One more question,ya changed the green progress bar to blue,what png do i need to change to change color for it or is it in .jar or .xml file?I looked for it in twframework and framework-res for about an hour but cant find it.
